Years

At the turn of the century

We were all in the past

We were half of us dreamers

Who love the other half

And some married the message

And some carried the news

And some stayed on the border

The unfortunate few

Am I wasting my time

Am I wasting my time

In a bottle of bruises

On the words and the rhymes

The true length of a lie

Is a list of excuses

And it's measuring up

Just to do or to die

I don't know where the time goes

When it isn't here

At the eve of the hour

Was I even there

We swore we were better

And we were going somewhere

A generational fever

On the fabric of a fear

Oh I know what I know now

I left the water for the fire show

I cleaned swept it

I hightailed it from the tide

But that's not victory to declare

I did not notice love was there

I turned a corner unaware

And love had died

Oh I'm turned around on a dime

And spinning all the time

I threw it all out on the table

Drew it all out on the line

I've got a million regrets

And I'm sorry for everything

I've ever done sometimes

But it's nowhere near sunset

And baby we've got years yet

Baby we've got years

Baby we've got years

Baby we've got years
